Redeploy services automatically

Automated Deployments with Docker Cloud

Docker Cloud’s Autoredeploy feature allows a service that uses an image stored in Docker Hub to automatically redeploy whenever a new image is pushed or built.

Notes:

  • Autoredeploy works only for hub images with the latest tag.

  • To enable autoredeploy on an image stored in a third party registry, you will need to use redeploy triggers instead.

Launch a new service with autoredeploy

You can launch a service with autoredeploy enabled by enabling it from the general settings section of the Launch new service wizard.

By default, autoredeploy is deactivated.

Use the CLI or API

You can enable autoredeploy when launching a service using the CLI or API.

By default, autoredeploy is set to false. See the API documentation for more information.
